In case you didn’t get the message, Donald Trump is going to “make America great again.”
Typically, campaign slogans try to capture something or other about the candidate by alluding to experience or values or whatever it is politicians believe will set them apart from the field.
But not Trump.
No, the brazen billionaire decided instead to go with something more grandiose by eschewing the slogan for a proclamation - an explicit promise to restore some bygone glory the billionaire imagines has been lost over the past two centuries.
After all, what kind of treasonous Benedict Arnold wouldn’t want to “make the country great again?”
Of course saying you’re going to right all of the wrongs on the way restoring American hegemony and striking fear in the hearts of those countries bold enough to challenge the US economically or militarily is one thing, while explaining how you’re going to do it is entirely another.
So far, it’s as yet unclear how Trump plans on making things “great again” and indeed it’s not even clear what the GOP frontrunner means by “great” other than “better than things are now.” Fortunately, voters don’t seem to care about the details and now, there’s a very real chance the Teflon Don ends up in the White House.
As we come up on the Iowa caucus, voters want to know how the candidates plan to turn campaign trail word into political deed and Trump has some ideas on how to reinvigorate America's dying manufacturing sector. For one thing, Trump thinks, we should shutdown Foxconn and get to making iPhones in the Rust Belt.
"We're going to get Apple to build their damn computers and things in this country instead of in other countries," Trump told a crowd at Liberty University in Virginia on Monday.
I thought Republicans were about the free market and capitalism . Apple does still manufacture some of it's computers in the U.S. anyway. I think lots of jobs might be a push, considering Apple would likely just move out of the Country if that happened.
It goes well beyond the assembly line. We don't have the infrastructure in terms of components.
